Popcorn Ceiling Removal in Cedar Park, TX

Popcorn ceilings — also called acoustic or cottage cheese ceilings — were standard in homes built between the 1960s and 1990s, and Cedar Park has plenty of them. In neighborhoods like Buttercup Creek and Twin Creeks, you'll find entire streets of homes where that dated texture is the first thing buyers notice during a showing. J&B Precision Painting specializes in popcorn ceiling removal in Cedar Park: we scrape, skim-coat, sand, and prime to deliver a smooth, paint-ready ceiling that makes rooms feel larger, brighter, and updated. We use professional dust containment systems — plastic sheeting, floor protection, and HEPA-filtered vacuums — so your home doesn't end up coated in ceiling debris. Most rooms are done in a single day, and we can paint the smooth ceiling the same visit if desired.

Popcorn ceiling removal involves wetting the texture to soften it, scraping it off, repairing any damage to the drywall underneath, applying a skim coat to create a smooth surface, sanding to a flat finish, and priming before paint. Homes built before 1978 may have asbestos in the texture — J&B tests before scraping on any pre-1978 home in Cedar Park and follows EPA guidelines if asbestos is present. For homes built after 1978, the process is straightforward and typically completed in 1–2 days per room.

Wondering if popcorn ceiling removal is worth it before listing your home in Cedar Park? Real estate agents consistently report that smooth ceilings increase perceived value and reduce buyer objections. The cost of removal is typically recovered in the sale price. For homeowners staying put, the upgrade makes rooms feel more modern and is easier to clean than textured ceilings, which trap dust and are nearly impossible to spot-paint.

J&B Precision Painting has removed popcorn ceilings in hundreds of Cedar Park homes. We don't just scrape — we skim-coat and sand to a true smooth finish, which is what separates a professional result from a DIY job that still looks rough after painting. Our dust containment setup protects your furniture, floors, and HVAC system. We're licensed, insured, and carry the proper equipment for pre-1978 asbestos testing when required.
